Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu, has called for unity and peaceful coexistence as Muslims mark the end of Ramadan and celebrate Eid-el-Fitr.
He made the call while hosting members of the Hausa/Fulani and non-indigene communities to a Ramadan break fast in Calabar, where he also warned against the rising vandalism of public infrastructure.
The gathering drew religious leaders, community representatives, and government officials in a moment of reflection and renewed commitment to harmony.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to inclusivity, stressing that all residents have a shared stake in the state’s future.
The governor also raised concern over the activities of scrap metal scavengers, describing the destruction of public assets as unacceptable.
Earlier, Chairman of the State Muslim Welfare Board, Kabir Olowolayemo, and the non-indigene leader, Okey Maduake, pledged continued support for peace and government policies.
The event ended with prayers for unity and national prosperity, including support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
